Abstract:
In the 1970s, Dietrich Dörner started using computersimulated microworlds as a stimulus for eliciting problem-solving behavior when dealing with complicated challenges, e.g., being a mayor of a small town („Lohhausen“ study) or being a CEO of a small company („Tailorshop“ microworld). Since that time, many miroworlds have been developed and used in problem-solving experiments. What research problems exist? What are the main results? What might be future lines of research?
